1. About OptiSystem
OptiSystem is an innovative, rapidly evolving, and powerful software design tool that enables
users to plan, test, and simulate almost every type of optical link in the transmission layer of a
broad spectrum of optical networks from LAN, SAN, MAN to ultra-long-haul. It offers
transmission layer optical communication system design and planning from component to
system level, and visually presents analysis and scenarios.
SPECIFIC BENEFITS:
Provides global insight into system performance
Assesses parameter sensitivities aiding design tolerance specifications
Visually presents design options and scenarios to prospective customers
Delivers straightforward access to extensive sets of system characterization data
Provides automatic parameter sweep and optimization
Integrates with the family of Optiwave products.
2. What is Stimulated Raman Scattering?
The Raman scattering effect is the inelastic scattering of a photon with an optical phonon,
which originates from a finite response time of the third order nonlinear polarization of the
material. When a monochromatic light beam propagates in an optical fiber, spontaneous
Raman scattering occurs.
It transfers some of the photons to new frequencies. The scattered photons may lose energy
(Stokes shift) or gain energy (anti-Stokes shift). If the pump beam is linearly polarized, the
polarization of scattered photon may be the same (parallel scattering) or orthogonal
(perpendicular scattering). If photons at other frequencies are already present then the
probability of scattering to those frequencies is enhanced. This process is known as
stimulated Raman scattering.
In stimulated Raman scattering, a coincident photon at the downshifted frequency will
receive a gain. This feature of Raman scattering is exploited in Raman amplifiers for signal
amplification.

3. Execution of the project:
3.1. Aim: To demonstrate the light amplification caused by the Stimulated Raman
Scattering (SRS) effect.
3.2. Objective: (i) Study & Implement OptiSystems software.
(ii) Graphically understand the amplification of light due to SRS.
(iii) Calculate the Raman gain for a specific input signals & set parameters.
3.3. Procedure:
1) Download & Install the Optisystem software. Run a new simulation on it. The
default component library appears on the left panel of the main layout.
2) Setup the following layout for SRS by obtaining components from varied
libraries.

3) Set the global parameters of each component, as required, by double-clicking
on the same, as follows:

4) Now give the following input signal to the system. The spectrum of the input
signal consists of a strong pump monochromatic wave (100 W) at 1550 nm
and a weak (-99 dBm) Stokes wave at 1640 nm (10 THz Stokes shift):

3.4 Observations:
The given graph gives the output spectrum. The weaker (low frequency) spectral
component is amplified and
the gain is G=99-61.7=37.3 dB.
3.5 Result: The Raman gain (in dB) is then G = 10log(exp(gPL)) = 37.2dB, where P
is the pump power and L is the fiber length.
